1792 Ridgemont Reserve Bourbon 8 Year

5 stars for the 1.75 liters, 4 stars for the 0.75L + 20% chance the cork will fail. Jan2016 marketing is to withhold 1.75L, slightly diminish .75L quality more available + increase small bottle prices by ~30%

Have had two bottles - one pre branding overhaul and one post. Both remain unfinshed ( which is rare for me) - the big issue here I believe is quality. Super oily and generally unbalanced, there are some good notes however I suspect the issue is either the quality of the barrels used for aging or the aging environment itself. A little rea search into the facility its produced in, provides clues but not answers, in summary there are significantly better bourbons (which can rightfully be called premium) in the same price bracket.
